Ejit marks Bikini Day

The Bikini community on Ejit Island marked Bikini Day last month with a ceremony involving raising of the RMI, US and KBE flags, and numerous activities involving Ejit Elementary students (who are lined up for the flag ceremony). The annual ceremony for the Bikinians this year marked the 72nd anniversary of their March 1946 relocation to Rongerik Atoll at the beginning of the nuclear weapons testing program.
